Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pin of screwing used in particular in a chain bottling for screwing caps on the neck of containers.
  • screwing pins which include a drive socket having an end provided a threaded collar on which is screwed a nut integral with a plug gripper which includes a cylindrical support member equipped with movable jaws.
  • the combination of the threaded collar and the nut makes a removable coupling, which makes it possible to replace the gripper for reasons of maintenance and more generally to have sets of pliers interchangeable adapted to different types of caps.
  • the thread of the nut must be irreversible, that is to say with a short step requiring to perform several turns of screwing or unscrewing of the nut when mounting or dismounting the gripper gripping.
  • screw pins are usually grouped together on the same closure carousel so that when changing the type of plug used the replacement of the clamps requires a stop of the bottling line whose duration is proportional to the number of screwdrivers mounted on the carousel. A such stop causes a drop in productivity.
  • US-A-2,449,161 discloses a screwing pin according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a screwing spindle comprising a drive socket to which is associated a gripping piece comprising an organ cylindrical support equipped with movable jaws and provided externally of at least one radially extending lug protruding, the socket having at least one slot having a first section opening on a free edge of the socket and a second section having a terminal portion forming with the sleeve an angle adapted to retain the ergot in the terminal part of the slot when engaged in it and the sleeve being equipped with a ring having at least one stop which extends radially in protruding inwards from the ring and is received in the slot, the ring being mounted on the sleeve to slide between a locking position in which the cleat extends into the first section of the slot next to the second section, and an unlock position in which the cleat is retracted in a third section of the slot.
  • the coupling is achieved by a simple axial displacement of the cylindrical support member by compared to the socket, followed by a rotation to bring the lug in the end part of the slot.
  • These two movements can be made in a single movement of so that the mounting of the cylindrical support member on the socket and disassembly of it are a lot more fast with a nut while locking positive of the support member of the jaws relative to the socket.
  • the second section of slot extends on one side of the first slot section such as when of a drive in rotation of the sleeve, the pin of the cylindrical support member tends to be brought to the end portion of the second section of the slot. So, the risk of accidental disconnection of the socket and the cylindrical support member is further minimized.
  • the first section of slot extends substantially in a axial direction of the sleeve and the second section of slot extends in a direction substantially circumference of the socket and, preferably, the third section extends in the extension of the first section.
  • the spindle comprises a means of elastic return of the ring in the position of locking.
  • the coupling is thus automatically locked without direct manual intervention on the ring.
  • the screwing pin according to the invention is intended in a manner known to be hitched to a tree of rotation and implanted for example in a carousel closing containers by means of caps.
  • the spindle screwing comprises a clip 1 gripping plugs which comprises a cylindrical support member 2 on which are mounted to pivot jaws 3 by means of pins 4.
  • Each jaw 3 has an end forming a jaw 5.1 and an opposite end forming a lever 5.2 actuating the jaw 3.
  • Lugs 6 extend radially protruding from the external surface of the organ cylindrical support 2. These pins 6 are here in number of three arranged at 120 ° from each other. To assure a good readability of Figures 3 and 4, only the pins 6 are shown in section in these figures and the rest of the gripper 1 is shown in phantom.
  • the screwing spindle also includes a socket 7 comprising an end portion 8 intended to be fixed to the drive shaft in rotation and a portion opposite end 9 delimiting a cylindrical housing of circular section slightly larger than the section transverse of the cylindrical support member.
  • the end portion 9 of the sleeve 7 comprises slots 10 having a slightly larger width at the cross section of the lugs 6. These slots 10 are here at the number of three arranged at 120 ° some of the other.
  • Each slot 10 includes a first section 10.1 extending from a free edge 11 of the portion end 9 of the sleeve 7 in an axial direction of the sleeve 7 and a second section 10.2 connected to the first section 10.1 on one side of it opposite to the sense of rotation of the sleeve 7 indicated in 12 in FIG. know the direction of screwing.
  • the second section 10.2 extends in a circumferential direction of the sleeve 7 on a length slightly greater than the diameter of the lugs 6.
  • the slot 10 also includes a third section 10.3 extending in the extension of the first section 10.1 beyond the second section 10.2.
  • the sleeve 7 is equipped with a ring of lock 13 having three tabs 14 which extend radially projecting towards the inside of the ring 13 and are received in the slots 10. These tabs 14 are here at number of three arranged at 120 ° from each other.
  • the ring 13 is mounted on the sleeve 7 for slide axially between a locking position wherein the ring has an internal shoulder 16 abutting against an outer shoulder 15 of the sleeve 7 and the cleats 14 extend in the first section 10.1 of the slots 10 opposite the second section 10.2 and one unlocking position in which the cleats are retracted in the third section 10.3 of the slots 10.
  • the ring 13 is recalled in its locking position by an elastic means, here a helical spring of compression 17 which extends between a terminal face 18 of the ring 13 adjacent to the shoulder 15 and a stop external 19 carried by the socket 7.
  • the cylindrical support member 2 When mounting the gripper 1, the ring 13 being in its locking position (FIG. and 2), the cylindrical support member 2 is inserted into the housing defined by the end portion 9 of the socket 7 so that the lugs 6 engage in the first 10.1 section of the slots 10, for example by exercising a slight upward support on the gripper 1 all by turning it until the lugs 6 engage in the first section 10.1 of the slots 10.
  • the screw spindle is then ready to use.
  • the control of the jaws 3 is carried out known by means of a piston 20 which is mounted in the sleeve 7 to slide between an out position in which the piston 20 has an active end 21 which is inserted between the lever ends 5.2 of the jaws 3 to separate these ends from each other and therefore bring closer the opposite ends 5.1 bringing thus the jaws in a closed position, and a recessed position in which the active end 21 of the piston is no longer in contact with the ends 5.2 of the jaws 3 so that the jaws 3 are brought back into open position by elastic means not shown.
  • Disassembly of the clamp 1 is achieved by bringing the ring 13 in its unlocking position, then in pivoting the cylindrical support member 2 relative to to the bushing 7 in the screwing direction 12 to bring the pins 6 in the first sections 10.1 of the slots 10 and finally pulling on the cylindrical support member 2 for the remove from socket 7.
  • the number of lugs and slots can be modified in particular according to the couple of screwing to transmit to the clamp.
  • the slots may take on other forms. So, the third stretch can make an angle with the first section, the first section can be inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve and the second stretch can make an angle with the direction circumferential sleeve. It can then be necessary to mount the ring in such a way that it can rotate relative to the socket.
